I'm not too proud to admit that that concept remains pretty much "critic proof" for me. I will almost certainly end up watching this movie… eventually…

The fact that Tasha fails to mention what Christina Hendricks is wearing in any/all of her scenes renders this review totally worthless.

I think you'll find the one in England was first, you damn Yankee!

Wife summoning is still illegal in the United Kingdom… it counts as witchcraft.

Damn it… I wanted to make that joke about Snooki. Now I have nothing to contribute to the discussion. You, sir, are worse than Mario Lopez!

Reminds me of a creative writing tutor I had who hated "genre" fiction so much he actually tried to suggest that Philip K. Dick wasn't a science fiction author!

So, if Sucker Punch was intended as an outraged critique of movies that pander to the fanboy gaze, does that mean that Snyder refused to accept any money from the sale of all the spin-off merchandising (posters and action figures, etc.)? Or did he fill his pockets while loudly declaring that he was simply seeing the…

@Miller: Just be careful they don't fall on you!

Not to go all "white knight", but if they lived in my town I'd totally be following them around, nursing a big crush… but then, I've never had a problem with handsome women… especially if they make good music!

Bummer? I hardly know her!

To paraphrase the article above, had the writers spent their preproduction time crafting characters whom people could connect to, and a coherent first season (with a definitive and satisfying running order of episodes), instead of trying to create five years of mythology, then perhaps it would have lasted past a…

Internet addresses were written in semaphore. It was a dark, dark time for all of us.

Slightly facile question…

Here in the UK, Ch5 chose to show this last night, on the tenth anniversary of 9/11… presumably because Ch4 had already snagged that World Trade Center movie.

I think even at the time I recognised the dialogue in B5 was pretty dire, but my geeky friends and me stuck with it because of the stories, and the Neil Gaiman connection. I've never been tempted to revisit it though.

For some reason I've always thought that Babylon 5 came first, and that Deep Space Nine was a rip-off… maybe because B5 was shown on British TV first? (Proper TV, I mean… not Sky) So I'm intrigued to learn that the rivalry was more complicated than that.

I hate myself for even thinking this, but the description of Ricci's performance in the review kinda makes me curious to see this movie… not that I ever will, unless it plays for free on TV sometime in the distant future.

Digression…
